Loading animation with shape that grows from within from central point

Abstract

A server can be configured for providing a loading animation with a shape that grows from within from a central point. The server can receive, from an entity device, a request to access a feature of the webpage, the webpage including a first shape. The server can access the feature of the webpage. The server can provide, to the entity device, a loading animation that includes a second shape that corresponds to the first shape. The loading animation can include an animation sequence that causes the second shape to grow from within from a central point. The server can provide, to the entity device, access to the requested feature of the webpage.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A server comprising:
 a processing device; and 
 a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are executable by the processing device to cause the server to perform operations, the operations comprising:
 receiving, from an entity device, a request to access a feature of a webpage, the webpage including a first shape; 
 accessing the feature of the webpage; 
 providing, to the entity device, a loading animation that includes a second shape that corresponds to the first shape, the loading animation including an animation sequence that causes the second shape to grow in size, without changing shape, from within from a central point into a first area occupied by the second shape, wherein the first area is unbounded and is different than a second area occupied by the first shape, wherein providing the loading animation includes:
 providing the loading animation having the animation sequence for a predetermined amount of time; and 
 
 in response to the predetermined amount of time elapsing:
 terminating the animation sequence, and 
 providing a static loading image that includes the second shape that corresponds to the first shape; and 
 
 providing, to the entity device, access to the requested feature of the webpage. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The server of  claim 1 , wherein the operation of providing the loading animation includes providing the loading animation for display on the entity device while the server accesses the feature of the webpage. 
     
     
       3. The server of  claim 1 , wherein the webpage further includes a first color scheme, and wherein the operation of providing the loading animation includes providing the loading animation having a second color scheme corresponding to the first color scheme. 
     
     
       4. The server of  claim 1 , wherein the operation of providing the loading animation includes providing the loading animation for conveying secure transfer of information with respect to the webpage. 
     
     
       5. The server of  claim 1 , wherein the operation of providing the loading animation includes:
 providing the loading animation to the entity device for display in a full-screen configuration on the entity device; or 
 providing the loading animation to the entity device for display a portion of the webpage. 
 
     
     
       6. The server of  claim 1 , wherein the operation of providing the loading animation includes providing, to the entity device, the loading animation that includes the second shape that is geometrically similar to the first shape. 
     
     
       7. The server of  claim 1 , wherein the predetermined amount of time is a first amount of time determinable prior to receiving the request. 
     
     
       8. A method comprising:
 receiving, by a server and from an entity device, a request to access a feature of a webpage, the webpage including a first shape; 
 accessing, by the server, the feature of the webpage; 
 providing, by the server and to the entity device, a loading animation that includes a second shape that corresponds to the first shape, the loading animation including an animation sequence that causes the second shape to grow in size, without changing shape, from within from a central point into a first area occupied by the second shape, wherein the first area is unbounded and is different than a second area occupied by the first shape, wherein providing the loading animation includes:
 providing the loading animation having the animation sequence for a predetermined amount of time; and 
 in response to the predetermined amount of time elapsing:
 terminating the animation sequence, and 
 providing a static loading image that includes the second shape that corresponds to the first shape; and 
 
 providing, by the server and to the entity device, access to the requested feature of the webpage. 
 
 
     
     
       9. The method of  claim 8 , wherein providing the loading animation includes providing the loading animation for display on the entity device while the server accesses the feature of the webpage. 
     
     
       10. The method of  claim 8 , wherein the webpage further includes a first color scheme, and wherein providing the loading animation includes providing the loading animation having a second color scheme corresponding to the first color scheme. 
     
     
       11. The method of  claim 8 , wherein providing the loading animation includes providing the loading animation for conveying secure transfer of information with respect to the webpage. 
     
     
       12. The method of  claim 8 , wherein providing the loading animation includes providing the loading animation to the entity device for display in a full-screen configuration on the entity device. 
     
     
       13. The method of  claim 8 , wherein providing the loading animation includes providing the loading animation to the entity device for display a portion of the webpage. 
     
     
       14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are executable by a processing device for performing operations, the operations comprising:
 receiving, from an entity device, a request to access a feature of a webpage, the webpage including a first shape; 
 accessing the feature of the webpage; 
 providing, to the entity device, a loading animation that includes a second shape that corresponds to the first shape, the loading animation including an animation sequence that causes the second shape to grow in size, without changing shape, from within from a central point into a first area occupied by the second shape, wherein the first area is unbounded and is different than a second area occupied by the first shapes wherein providing the loading animation includes:
 providing the loading animation having the animation sequence for a predetermined amount of time; and 
 in response to the predetermined amount of time elapsing:
 terminating the animation sequence, and 
 providing a static loading image that includes the second shape that corresponds to the first shape; and 
 
 providing, to the entity device, access to the requested feature of the webpage. 
 
 
     
     
       15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 14 , wherein the operation of providing the loading animation includes providing the loading animation for display on the entity device while the feature of the webpage is being accessed. 
     
     
       16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 14 , wherein the webpage further includes a first color scheme, and wherein the operation of providing the loading animation includes providing the loading animation having a second color scheme corresponding to the first color scheme. 
     
     
       17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 14 , wherein the operation of providing the loading animation includes providing the loading animation to the entity device for display in a full-screen configuration on the entity device.
